Overview
When Will Ferrell's good friend Harper comes out as a trans woman, they take a road trip to bond and reintroduce Harper to the country as her true self.
What a beautiful story of love and acceptance. I found it particularly interesting that they seem to have captured the awkwardness of their initial meeting – each of them wanting to do and say the right things, but neither knowing how. What followed was a little bit of everything – humor, kindness, intrigue and of course, love. One side note: I thought that the director did a smart thing by not trying to paint locals in a bad light. I am sure that it couldn’t have been too hard to capture one of them saying or doing something stupid on film. This is not how hearts are changed.
